I'd expect the git patch author to be Andrea if he wrote the original
patch and you enhanced it.

It'd be nice to give everything (types, functions, variables) a
consistent symbol prefix; bcm2836_arm_irqchip_ sounds like a good
bikeshed to me, but perhaps just propagating the above arm_local_ to the
functions too would be good, although that seems to risk symbol name
collisions with other ARM SoCs.

Is "4" there the CPU count? Perhaps this should use one of the Linux
APIs to query the CPU count rather than hard-coding it?

Should per-CPU IRQs automatically be masked on all CPUs at once, or only
on the current CPU? A very quick look at the ARM GIC driver implies it
doesn't iterate over all CPUs when masking per-CPU IRQs.

If the IRQs can't be masked, should these functions actually be implemented?

Given that bcm2836_send_ipi() is #ifdef CONFIG_SMP, should this code be too?
